"Who will break 50 knots first. A board sailor or a sailboat sailor ?"
Hi Wouter, sadly I can not identify with that "thing" as being a sailboat. I do admire their efforts though, and believe they have the potential to get there (the 50 knot barrier).
Will be interesting to see who gets there first, and if all the interest in speedsailing will disappear when someone does.
I`m amazed that they say they only get up to max. speed some 300m into the course - if they want to average 50knots over 500m, you`d think they`d enter the course at max, speed ? This means that in order to average 50knots over the course, they`d have to be doing close to 60knots at the end of it.
